Easter Treat

I know this isn't a quick meal recipe, but I was looking for things to do for Visiting Teaching and found this. Looks fun. These look like something tastier than jelly beans for the eggs.

Jelly Bean Nests

2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
1 (6-ounce) package chow mein noodles

Jelly beans or other egg shaped candy



Combine marshmallows and butter in 2-quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (6 to 8 minutes). Stir in noodles until very well coated.

Press mixture on bottom and up sides of each buttered 12-cup muffin pan cup with buttered fingers.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm.Remove from cups; fill with jelly beans.

Something healthy, easy, & yummy

Soaked Oatmeal

2 C. oatmeal

2 C. water

4 T. yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk

Mix together in the evening and set pan in warm place until morning. When ready to eat breakfast add 2 more cups of water and heat only as it is already to eat and heating is the only thing needed. Just a quick as dry cereal and twice as good for you!!

We like to add a couple eggs to it while heating it to give it a porridge texture and taste. Sweeten with honey, jam, brown sugar or even ice cream if you please! If you aren't a fan of oatmeal (like me), don't sweeten at all and add a 1/2 C. to a smoothie. My favorite smoothie using oatmeal goes like this~1/2 C. oatmeal, 1 C. greek yogurt, and 3/4 C. organic juice. Sometimes I throw in an egg for added protein. It really tastes good.

Delicious No-baked Cookies (Mud Puddles)

After the peanut butter is melted and its all creamy, stir in the oats. With two table-spoons, scoop out into balls on some foil. There you go! Enjoy.

HOMEMADE OREO COOKIES

These are super easy and dang yummy. The best part is that there is only 4 ingredients!!!Here's the low down:

1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
2 Eggs
2/3 C. Shortening
1 can Cream Cheese Frosting

Mix the first three ingredients together by spoon. If it becomes stiff and hard to mix, use your hands but keep in mind that this is a sticky dough. Using a 1" cookie scoop, place 30 cookie balls on a large sheet pan. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes. The cracks in the cookies should still be glistening when you take them out of the oven. DO NOT over bake you want them to stay soft. Cool completely before making the oreo sandwiches. Frost the back side of one cookie and top with another. Continue until all cookies are made. Let cookies sit out on counter for at least an hour to let the frosting set up. Store in an air tight container to maintain freshness. ENJOY!!!

TIP: to make frosting these easier, scoop your frosting into a quart sized ziplock baggie. Snip one corner of the baggie off and pipe your frosting on. Makes frosting this babies so much easier!!
